Dancing Diva, Bindi Irwin!

#TeamCrikey !

"I'm in this space right now where I'm super pumped ..." the 30-year-old Dancer recently expressed on People.com, " ... I feel great. And then she walks in my life. ... I don't know what it is. I love her. She's amazing."

#TeamCrikey will be making their Dancing Debut on DWTS' Season 21 Premiere (which airs September 14th, 2015) , causing an amused 17-year-old Bindi to voice some concerns:  "This is going to be more terrifying than jumping on top of a crocodile," the Australian Native humorously observed. "... I've kind of worked with them my whole life; whereas, I've never danced before in my whole life."

And while which Couple will eventually take home that dazzling Mirror Ball Trophy is still anybody's guess, the team of Bindi & Derek does seem to be one Ballroom Duo that fans of the Show will not soon forget!

"She's a breath of fresh air," added the enamoured Dance Instructor, "We all need a little Bindi in our lives.  Seriously."
